Dolphin from the ppa/Software center works, but it's based on the older stable builds. I want to use the latest dev builds. Shouldn't they be also compatible with the latest stable version of Ubuntu and not just the LTE version?
Is there a way to fix this?

Because it's easier to maintain. Launchpad uses bazaar instead git (at least for recipes), so the dolphin source at launchpad does not have git stuff. If you want to know what's the version you are using, take a look at this page.
